Is McCain Paying CNN for airtime to run this nauseating "town hall" lovefest?

At first I didn't care about all the free time because he's just making a jackass of himself, but I'm starting to get a little pissed. This is more of an "event." Enough is enough.

1. It looks like free publicity for our side. The man looks old and tired

The crowd is listless, and McCain looks like a beaten man.

2. That's reassuring

I'm listening to it, not watching it. I hear all the applause. It sounds like an infomercial disguised as a news event.

Anyway, I'm relieved he looks awful and the crowd listless! LOL

3. The visual was terrible.

And I'm trying to put myself in the position of a McCain supporter here. I would be greatly depressed.

4. yes - esp when compared

to Obama in Cleveland. What was that number? 80,000?? :)

5. Yeah, amazing.

And there was McCain at a town hall of a few hundred, perhaps? And I may be generous here.
